ChoreKey ties a child's app access to chores — enforced by Apple's Family Controls — but only inside your home geofence. Leave home (school, practice, a friend's) and apps work normally. She photographs the finished chore; parent approves in one tap; the shield lifts. Calls, Messages, and Maps are never blocked. No accounts, no cloud, no subscription — it all stays on the device. $2.99 once; $4.99 Plus adds a parent phone for remote approval.
Love the no-account, no-subscription angle and the thoughtful carve-out for calls and maps. One thing I'd want: a simple weekly summary view for parents showing which chores got approved fastest, which got skipped, and how screen time unlocked per kid. Would help spot patterns without having to dig through approvals one by one.
Photo approval flow is genuinely faster than I expected, and not having to set up yet another family account is a huge plus.
